Observed and photographed at Ngonye Falls campsite, and collected on the eastern banks of the Zambezi River below Ngonye Falls. These records extend the known distribution of this species about 110 km north-west from the nearest records at Sesheke ( Channing 2001; Poynton and Broadley 1988, 1991), although Broadley (2000a) records it from the “Barotse floodplains.”
